Mick Jagger confesses he would have preferred to be a journalist, a teacher or a politician. Despite being worth hundreds of millions of dollars, owning houses around the world and being revered by generations of rock fans, Jagger would have found an alternative career ''gratifying''. However, he says he has learnt to ''make the best'' of his job as a rock singer. He said: ''A schoolteacher would have been very gratifying, I'm sure. There are millions of things you would have loved to have done.''
